Stormy Weather

Well the snow was welcomed in Brunswick! We ventured outside for the first ski of the year and some walkin' in a winter wonderland.

Christmas with the Princes

Grammy and Grampa Prince came down on Christmas eve so we could all spend Christmas morning together! It was a delightful time.


"T'was the night before Christmas..."


Levi helps mama with her new gloves, and really seems to like them!!


Evvie's all about ponies and her new Christmas Kitty! It seems to be the twin sister of "Black Kitty" who ran away about two years ago.

Ho! Ho! Ho! (#2)

Ho! ho! ho!

Levi was very proud of this project he made with The Littler Dippers. Ho! Ho! Ho! to everybody this Christmas!

Christmas at Railway Village

We took a year off from our traditional expedition in Bath on the Candy Cane Train to explore Boothbay's Railway Village. It was a great day with an old-fashioned steam engine chugging us around- hot cocoa in one hand, a cookie in the other.

Santa visits


All Aboard!
(the artistic edge-blur is really just hot cocoa on the lens. Thanks, Levi!)

Jingle Bells

Saturday was Evvie's preschool Holiday Party. We were treated to a great brunch buffet, and then great music as the kids entered with Santa hats and jingling bells!

(You'll notice Evelyn sort of freeze on the entrance..."somebody's in my spot, NOW what do I do?!!")

Getting you all caught up!

Here's a smattering of pix from the past month-and-a-half, during which I have been shirking my blog duties. Here are the highlights and random sampling:

• Fall was beautiful
• We went to the Brunswick Halloween parade- never really enjoyed Michael Jackson's "Thriller" until I heard the marching band do it
• Evvie turned 5
• The kids "helped" me stack wood (in their jammies)
• We trimmed Levi's bangs up
• the kids wore one of each others boots...and thought it was funny
• Levi tried on some of Great Grandma Doris's jewelrey
• Evvie built a tiny snowman with Grammie...
• ...then licked it
• Mama and Evvie got dressed up to see The Nutcracker ballet in POrtland
• We got a new couch and the kids tested it out first

There's your blog post.
